Since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, at least 20 ships have been damaged in the Red Sea as part of Huti's ongoing run to punish Israel and its global supporters. The U.S. operation of the Keeper of Prosperity is something that has withdrawn from the front pages of the newspapers, as it has actually proved ineffective.
American warships patrolling the waters off the Yemeni coast shot down dozens or possibly hundreds of drones and rockets at that point – and sometimes besides conducted offensive operations – but supported by Iran Huti remained unhindered.
The Pentagon is now preparing for the next step, sending USS Harry S. Truman to Red Sea. American military magazine Stripes He writes of fresh planning: "A nuclear-powered airplane and its 6000 sailors spent the last months training in the western Atlantic Ocean for this mission—a rare, pre-planned deployment to take the ship into hostile environments."
"In fresh weeks, his sailors have been tested in the pilots' cabin, and his pilots knew that they would be there this year They were expected to shoot down drones and ammunition. launched by Iran-supported Hutch," we read further.
European allies and groups specified as the Atlantic Council bitterly complain about the ongoing "failure" of the Pentagon-led mission so far:
Six months after Joe Biden's administration launched Operation Prosperity Guardian to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, the biggest problem facing the White home is not a threat from Huti, but U.S. failure to gather partners and allies behind its leadership.
Several costly MQ-9 Reaper drones have already been lost in the region, and any of them were shot down by the Hutich as the United States continues to spend billions associated with the spread of the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
While Truman's aircraft carrier will surely be a large show of force, it may be simpler that a 1,000-foot ship and a ten4,000-ton buoyancy will simply be a greater Huti target.
U.S. Naval Fleet Command Chief, Admiral Daryl Caudle, describes the sailors preparing for the mission: "They know they're likely to enter the weapons clash zone".
"For this group this [location] is not an attitude that they just go somewhere to drill in the water – it is: "We will be hired to fight".
In November, the Chief Chief declared astounding and contradictory:
As it was sad after more than 20 years of the alleged Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), this naval commander openly talks about the deployment to "fight" on new, unstable and advanced theatre activities, and yet there was never a formal mandate of legislature to go to war with Yemen or Huti. Of course, there were many specified cases.
